Joys of ...

This pic arrived by e-mail with a short message: 'Are you ready for me?!!! I'm on my way!! :-)'

The Girl and spouse are in the Dominican Republic for a week of beach time. Bless 'em, they have it coming, as they are as hard-working a couple as you will ever encounter. We get a week of Lily Jane, Oscar the weenie dog, and brother Dawson, a nice kid of eleven who bubbles with little-boy enthusiasms and preferences. The Girl advised me to bolt for the Summer White House, but it's as yet not habitable, so I'm busy here cooing, cursing, and cooking. The Vatican has called asking for one of my knucklebones, post mortem, of course ... something about sainthood. 'Pappy is a saint.' Lily laughs like crazy when she hears that and then says, 'Nooooooo.'

I can hardly wait until Monday so I can go back to work to rest after MY week of riding herd on the two year old redhead and fairly new baby sister.

Have a grand time Mr. Loon!

How fun for you and the doggie and the brother! I hope yourself and herself enjoy every moment!

P.S. There's a place in the stix with kind adult folk and sweet kitties if you should need a change of pace before it's all done.....you can sit a spell and enjoy peace and quiet.

EA - They're fun, but, damn they're exhausting. Plus, they lack normal nerve endings that can detect such as heat indices higher than 100 ... just wanna go go go.
Shug - Kind offer duly noted, appreciated, and perhaps even accepted in a couple, three days.

There is a reason why old folks don't have small children...
